Certainly either processor should be sufficient to run Xubuntu 12.04 and 2 GB of RAM is plenty for most use. 

Not knowing the other specs (particularly video card and, if wireless is needed the wireless chipset) it's impossible to venture a reasonable guess whether the drivers will be available.  As mentioned by another commenter, the details aren't specific enough to be able to tell.
